    How Would Julian Letterlough Have Done Against Roy Jones?

    In early 2001 Julian Letterlough and Julio Gonzales had a close and very entertaining fight on an Espn card .The two traded kd's more than once in the fight, but Gonzales got the win and as a result go his chance to fight LHW king Roy Jones. In the fight with Jones, Gonzales got decimated but I wonder how Letterlough would have done against Jones has he won the fight with Gonzales? Letterlough up until the fight with Gonzales had won all but 1 of his fights by ko and had power which Gonzales didn't have. I would also say that though Letterlough lacked the technical skill Tarver has he certainly had more power than Tarver who was able to ko Jones.....so how do you think Letterlough would have done against Jones keeping in mind we are talking 2001 here?

    Julian was one of my favorites (RIP), and he could flat out crack, but I dont think he would have done well with Jones. Julian was kind of like an Antwun Echols, in that he could hit like a cement truck, but just couldnt deliver those kind of shots consistently on the top level guys. Definitely a badass though, and got completely jobbed in the Daniel Judah fight.......

      Julian would have had to have been under no delusions of winning on the cards and just try and blast Roy to get him out of there to have had a chance.

          I disagree with this....he was stopped by Cloud most recently but didn't even go down.
